      Montpellier vs Reims Predictions

      David Guion’s Reims side have been incredible this season. Despite being the newly promoted team, they have really taken the game to sides much bigger than them and have even taken away three points from clubs like Marseille (2-1), Rennes (2-0) and Monaco (1-0). They have a great chance to do so against la Paillade given their form. 

      They are unbeaten in their last eleven games with five wins in there. This has seen them rise to 7th in the league and they are now within two points of a European place. They are drawn for the third best defensive record in the league and showed that against a very good Rennes side at the weekend. They only had 35% of the possession but managed four shots on target, compared to Rennes’ solitary strike. Their attack was definitely a weak point earlier in the season but this has drastically improved as they have scored 10 goals in their last five games and will be looking to continue that here, although they face an equally as strong defence in Montpellier. 

      Montpellier boasted the second best defensive record in the league before they were thrashed 5-1 in midweek by PSG. The scoreline didn’t really reflect the match as la Paillade had their chances and two of Paris’ goals were via horrible deflections but nevertheless they are now on a run of just one win in their last eleven games. 

      Six of these games have finished as draws but Montpellier have really fallen off a cliff in terms of form as they started the season off so well and were regarded as one of the real contenders for Europe. They still sit sixth but with five teams within just two points of them and they will quickly fall behind the pack if they can’t sort out their form. They have kept three clean sheets in their last six matches but have picked up just seven points from a possible 18, which is a real waste of the opportunity they made for themselves through their solid defence.

      Montpellier just seem to playing with such little confidence at the moment and with Reims on top of the world, the visitors should have this one in the bag. Montpellier won 1-0 when these teams last met in September but that was at the height of their good form and we’re predicting a different outcome here. Even though they conceded five in midweek, they still have a fantastic defence so Reims will find it hard to score against them in great volume. However, they have scored in each of their last eleven games and we’re backing them to continue that with a 1-0 win.
